"Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging.But I wasn't remote debugging! It turned out the reason this is happening is because visual studio is a 32 bit application but I'm running a 64 bit OS. When I hit F5 I'm launching a 64 bit application so for visual studio to debug it it has to silently start remote debug to bridge the gap.
The Microsoft Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor has been closed on the remote machine."
The fix: The most reliable way to get around this I've found is to set your startup projects platform to "x86" in the project settings. This removes the need for visual studio to silently do remote debugging.
